At the end of last season I busted my PTO piston for the 2nd time. It cracked the skirts off of it. I ended up ruling the cause as the piston wasn't within tolerance of the cylinder wall. Which, obviously, caused the piston to bang around in there and that's all she wrote.

So what I need to do is pull the engine, split the case so I can clean out all the pieces of aluminum from the piston. I already bought a replacement cylinder & head and thanks to Beerdart I'll get a piston/rings. Then I can button everything back together.
